battalion.
Matters are rather quiet, socially
speaking, but by combining few we'd
dings, circuses, afternoon teas and eve
ming parties together the outlook is
not so quiet
THE CIRCUS
yesterday drew out the regulation
crowd. The Burr Robbins special train
pulled in by early daylight, from Sioux
Falls, and the usual small boy greeted
him at the grounds. The parade was
very good, and the crowd in town
seemed to enjoy it. The menagerie
was hardly up to the average, and
there was nothing in the circus that re-
quires more than a passing notice. But
then it was circus, and that was
enough for young, and even old, Amer
lea. There will be no more railroad
shows this season, and so our people
turned out in pretty good shape to bid
good bye until next year,
According to an authority from one
of the towns visited by Burr Robbins,
that gentleman is the survivor of injur-
les that would have killed 800 men out
of l 900. Many years ago he was run
ming small pleasure steamboat of his
own in Rock river, in Wisconsin, when
the boat collided with the archway of a
bridge. Mr.. Robbins skull was crushed
into many fragments, like an egg shell,
the top of it thrown back and the brain
left bare. There was no other thought
than that he would die. But he recov-
cred, and though badly SCARED and
deaf in one ear, he enjoys good health.
His case is one of the marvels of surgi-
cal experience.

AN EDITORIAL WEDDING
The gathering at the Episcopal church
last Thursday afternoon looked consid-
erably like Lincoln county newspaper
gathering, the guests being all interest
ed to more or less extent in the sue
cess of the county press. But the real
work Of the meeting" was the mar
riage of E. G. Worden, of the Eden
Echo, to Miss Kate Rogers, of Whal-
lonsburgh, N. Y. The knot was tied
| through the short and beautiful EpiscO-
pal service, Rev. Wicks officiating, and
after the usual congratulations the
newly joined members of the profession
proceeded to the depot and took the
train for their home at Eden. The
bride has been teaching school near
Eden the past year, is deservedly popu-
lar and was warmly welcomed to Eden.
Newspaper people generally toot their
our horns, and we will not eXpatiate
upon the genial characteristics Of the
happy Capt. Worden further than to
tender the very best wishes and ardent
support of THE ADVOCATE to the
couple.

TEE TURTLE MOUNTAIN CROWD.
The.2d Regiment Band left Saturday
noon for the Turtle Mountains, in ex-
treme North Dakota, where they were
specially invited by Gov. Church and
the troops to furnish music for the
cavalry camp. The government troops
pay all expenses, costing the territory
nothing. The detail was simply for
mality, so that the cavalry boys could
get rates on railroads at the same terms
as does the militia. The band is TWEEN.
| ty strong and comprised the same rOs-
ter as at the Huron encampment, ex-
cepting Chas. Marker and Lee Russell,
who secured substitutes. The band

turn.
